If this shoe has a less firm middlesole then the Wave Rebellion( I liked it a lot but did not love it) then it should be great for me. This Neo Wind put me in check before buying the new Wave Rider 26 ! This new Neo Wind seems that it is the Wave Rider Neo 3 ...and I loved the version two.
The midsole is very similar to the Wave Rebellion when you first start running, but it seems to soften more than the Rebellion as the run goes on. I never feel like it's been a firm ride when I get to the end of a run!
I think it would work well for a little of everything. It’s firm enough where you could quite comfortably work in it all day (I find shoes that are too soft tend to get tiring over time).
hello. I am interested in mizuna and which model is soft, light and comfortable for walking. I have a problem with my hips and I am interested. thank you and greetings from Slovenia
Hi Čarli! Other than their race day shoes, Mizuno’s aren’t typically very light, but I still think the Wave Rider 27 would be a great option for you. It’s extremely comfortable and will be great for walking. It will provide a lot of protection and will last a long time.
The shoe feels very comfortable and fast underfoot but a buyer certainly has to value environmentally sound manufacturing practices above weight to see the shoe’s real value. 💪🏽🌳 Thanks for watching! 👊🏽
Dear Matt… please teach us a bit. Uptempo means slower than tempo pace, I think. Doesn’t that seem odd, that “uptempo” means slower…I wonder why that is. Anyhow, It seems to me that everyone always encourages us to run slow, or to run fast like tempo or faster; that is, keep the variety to optimize gains. So doesn’t that make Uptempo the awkward middle child…the Jan Brady of running paces, if you will. 😂 How do you use uptempo in your training, Matt? Thank you
First a warning that I am not a coach, and I know I personally do not run/train in the most effective way. Yes, it has ways struck me as weird that up-tempo is slower than tempo. You’re also right that an up-tempo pace flies in the face of the popular polarized training of running either easy or hard. What’s also a little confusing is that a popular metric for gauging tempo pace is the pace you can hold for 1 hour but if you follow the Hansen’s Marathon Method a tempo pace is marathon pace. 🤷🏻♂️ Ultimately, if you have a coach, do what they say. If not, do what works for you. I try to polarize my training, but I enjoy the feeling of running in the “no man’s land” of pacing.
@@its_Matt_B_ Thanks for that answer, Matt. Yes, polarized training, makes sense. I follow elite marathoner Nell Rojas on Strava and she runs 5:18 pace for Boston Marathon, yet all of her easy training runs are 8:30 pace. Polarized! Oddly, my full marathon pace is 9:00 and yet my easy runs are 9:45. 😂 😂 Something askew there. Hahaha. Thx again
@@Burps___ My marathon pace is approx 7:00 min/mi and my average pace is around 8:30-8:45. I suppose that’s reasonably polarized but not like the pros!
Give it another year or so and this will be the average price. 😂 but also 😢. I have a lot of shoes, but I don’t hoard them. I get rid of (donate) the shoes I don’t wear very often, even if they have low mileage. I’ll never be one of those reviewers with a hundred shoes as a backdrop! 😆
@@aa-vy7cw Perhaps 4-5, but I usually run a lot in the same shoe when I get a new one I want to review. Last week I ran mostly in this Wave Neo Wind so I could get enough volume in them to really know what they’re about.
@@its_Matt_B_ By not being vegan, engineers can focus on performance and value. Instead of the animals. Not sure how other knit shoes are non-vegan, but I think its safe to assume that animal usage is a negligible amount. Also running shoes r a niche item and a limited number of each model is made/sold. However most runners are flexeterians (probably) so vegan is good for sales. On the other hand leather Air force 1, which sells way too much, wud positively benefit from using synthetic leather. Provided that so called vegan leather doesn't use any environmentally hazardous chemicals during synthesis.
I have a pair of shoes in this brand. I haven't worn them that much yet, but so far I like them.
The build quality of Mizuno is 💫!
We love Tomato 🍅🍅 color🙌🏽
Definitely going to be buying a pair of these shoes
Thanks for the 🍅! Based on the 🍅I'm guessing this comment was meant to be for the Hyperion Max! 🤣

nice review Matt, our shoe paths cross again
.....but you're always just one step (or a few weeks) ahead of me! 🤣
Would you say they would be a good everyday shoe? For work and walking, traning and so on?
I think it would work well for a little of everything. It’s firm enough where you could quite comfortably work in it all day (I find shoes that are too soft tend to get tiring over time).
I apologize if this is a silly question, but do you think these would be good for walking?
It’s not a silly question at all. Yes, they would be absolutely fine for walking!

I wear 42.5 at nike and 42 2/3 at adidas. That is 27 cm. What size should I buy for this pair?
I can't really give good advice here because I wear the same size in all three brands.
Hey Matt, how does the sizing on these compare to the sizing on the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Flash?
I had to drop a whole size with these. I wear a size 13 in every Mizuno other than these and also the Wave Ultra.
Would you compare invincible and neo ultra? The invincibles are too soft for me (100kg/ about 220lbs).
The Neo Ultra is much firmer than the Invincibles!
An expensive and heavy shoe, I can't find a reason to choose it, there are a so much good and cheap shoes out there!
The shoe feels very comfortable and fast underfoot but a buyer certainly has to value environmentally sound manufacturing practices above weight to see the shoe’s real value. 💪🏽🌳 Thanks for watching! 👊🏽
I have these and I really ❤ them! I just ordered an extra pair that were for sale for only 70 Euro. 🎉
Wow! What a deal! Good score! 💥
sleeper shoes
with same effort for 5minutes paces
i got 4 minutes time 👍
"Sleeper shoes" is a great description! They're quick!

I was almost about to order them blindly then I saw all this vegan marketing. And decided to get some non vegan runners instead.
People have exploited animals for centuries. Why stop now?
What did you end up getting?

@@tahsin28 I’m with you that “vegan” is more marketing than any ethical stance by the companies.
